Eight Hall Of Famers 1910 Barnstorming Fan--First Actual All-Star Game?
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have a rare 1910 Boles and Arnold advertising fan from Prescott Iowa that has 16 players includingAttachment 24498

Attachment 24499 8 Hall of Famers-- four on each side--I believe the fan is from the first actual all-star game as there are 8 from the American League on one side and 8 from the National League from the other side. There are four Hall of Famers on each side for a total of eight. Even though the first all-star game was in 1933, I believe this is actuallly the forerunner in idea. Unlike most barnstorming teams, the two teams are exclusive by league.

The Players on the fan are:
American League National League
Lajoie--HOF Doolan
Davis--HOF Griffith--HOF
Lord Dahlen
Moriarity Sweeney
Chase--HOF Chance--HOF
Sullivan Devlin
Wallace--HOF Clark--spelled wrong should be Clarke--HOF
Schaeffer Breshahan--HOF

Let me know if you have any interest. I believe the fan is a one of a kind--as far as ones that have survived. Has a copyright of 1910 on it and is numbered 339 on the bottom--probably a handout at the actual game that took place in Prescott Iowa. My guess it was like an all-star barnstorming. Also has Federal League player Doolan.
